This repository contains few helper scripts that will help you to build and store your Vagrant boxes.
First, you need to create a new VM in Virtualbox, for this example we
call it fedora24.
Then, add a port forwarding rule to the network adapter. Right click on the virtual machine name, then select Settings -> Network -> Adapter 1 -> Advanced -> Port Forwarding -> Plus icon and use the following settings:
- Name: ssh
- Protocol: TCP
- Host IP: 127.0.0.1
- Host Port: 2222
- Guest IP: leave this field blank
- Guest Port: 22
You can now start the operating system installation, also you need to
make a user called vagrant as administrator.
When OS installation is completed, add vagrant user to sudoers to
enable password-less sudo and disable requiretty. For that, you need
to login to the virtual machine, then add the following lines to
/etc/sudoers file.
vagrant ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
Defaults:vagrant !requiretty
Now, install Virtualbox Guest Additions and its dependencies, e.g. the
kernel-devel package in Fedora.
You also need to enable and start sshd service.
$ sudo systemctl enable sshd
$ sudo systemctl start sshd
Logout from the virtual machine and generate a new ssh key for
vagrant user on your local computer:
$ cd $HOME/.ssh
$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -C vagrant@localhost -f vagrant.id_rsa
Then, run scripts/copy-ssh-key.sh to add the vagrant ssh public key
to your VM. You can test the ssh key with:
$ ssh -i vagrant.id_rsa -p 2222 vagrant@127.0.0.1
Finally, power off the virtual machine as it is ready for creating Vagrant boxes.
Generate a new Vagrantfile file:
$ scripts/generate-vagrantfile.sh fedora24 1.0
Build a new vagrant box:
$ scripts/build-box.sh fedora24 1.0
Generate a new json file:
$ scripts/generate-json.sh fedora24 1.0 "Fedora 24 base image."
Now, you can add the new box to your Vagrant:
$ scripts/add-vagrant-box.sh fedora24 1.0
Ok, it's time to test the new box:
$ cd tests
$ vagrant init fedora24
$ vagrant up
